SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA
A big rig carrying 25,000 pounds of milk cartons overturned
Monday morning on a State Route 99 off ramp in Sacramento, spilling milk onto
the road, the California Highway Patrol said.
The 47th Avenue off-ramp from northbound State Route 99 and
eastbound 47th Avenue were expected to be closed for several hours while crews
cleaned up the spill. CHP said the big rig driver was traveling at an unsafe
speed on the off ramp before the crash.
The crash remains under investigation. The more typical flip of the truck occurs when the driver goes too fast and fails to negotiate the curve.
